MoistureMap
See what’s happening inside your roof, before it becomes a problem.
Water trapped inside a roof system rarely announces itself. By the time a leak shows up inside the building, moisture may have been spreading through the insulation for months. MoistureMap finds it early, without cutting into your roof.

WHAT IT IS
A Non-Invasive Look Inside Your Roof
MoistureMap is a non-invasive roof scan that locates and measures trapped moisture in your roofing system. Using professional impedance scanning equipment, we map your entire roof and classify every section as wet, damp, dry, or undetermined, giving you a clear, color-coded picture of your roof’s condition.
No tear-off. No guesswork. Just a straightforward look at where moisture is hiding and what it means for your building.
THE DELIVERABLE
What You Get
Moisture Map
A full color-coded map of your entire roof, section by section.
Condition Breakdown
The percentage of your roof that’s wet, damp, and dry, in square feet you can budget against.
Photo Documentation
Photos of any problem areas found during the scan, tied back to the map location.
Expert Observations
The visual inspection alongside the scan can also catch other issues, like deteriorated flashing or a compromised membrane.
THE PROCESS
How It Works
Scan the Roof
Inspectors scan section by section using non-penetrating detection tools.
Confirm With Testing
Spot testing verifies readings to keep results accurate.
Stay Operational
It all happens on the roof surface, and your building keeps running.
THE DIFFERENCE
Same Roof, Two Ways to Read It
Standard Scan
- Needs specific daylight/heat conditions
- Confirming a finding means cutting into the roof for a core sample
- Findings can be inconsistent, hard to defend if challenged
MoistureMap
- Works in any temperature, any time of day
- Non-destructive: walk the grid, read the data, roof stays intact
- Meets and exceeds every ASTM non-destructive testing standard

Of Roof Affected
Without scanning, a contractor guessing at the problem could recommend tearing off the whole roof. With the data, PIERCE isolated the problem areas and budgeted targeted repairs under $15,000.
Catching moisture early gives you options. Small, localized problems can often be handled with targeted repairs instead of a full replacement.
Waiting usually means the wet area spreads, and a bigger bill down the road. MoistureMap gives you the information to make the call on your own timeline.
WHEN TO USE IT
Good Timing for a Scan
• Before acquiring a property
• Before budgeting capital repairs
• When you suspect a leak but can’t find the source
• As part of an annual maintenance program
